PAEDIATRIC FIRST AID TRAINING FOR PRE-SCHOOL AND NURSERY STAFF

Early day motion 688, tabled 13 January 2015 by Mark Hunter (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 45 members.

That this House welcomes the Department for Education's review of paediatric first aid training for nursery staff across England following the tragic case of Millie Thompson, who passed away aged nine months after a choking incident at a nursery school in Cheadle; notes that Millie's case has exposed loopholes in current regulation; further notes that over 100,000 people signed an e-petition requesting a change to the law; pays tribute to Joanne and Dan Thompson and all their supporters for setting up Millie's Trust and campaigning for a positive legacy; and calls on the Government to introduce a requirement for all relevant pre-school and nursery staff to receive paediatric first aid training.
